By Alice Clark, published 9/8/2011It is not easy to locate and count rough sleepers to do any kind of a census, which can make homelessness statistics misleading.

This so-called “Homelessness” is one of the “Biggest” and “Best Rorts" in the Country !!
"Generating" a, "Massive Financial Turnover" !!
Anyone in this Country that doesn't own a house,
can "legally be declared" or "stated" to be “Homeless” !
In the inner City Brisbane there is over Fifty ( 50 ) venues including mobile food vans, that supply nourishing food
including hot meals, barbecues, sandwiches and hot drinks to anyone that present themselves.
These people are then classed as the “ homeless”
And become “clients”. Thus creating a “Circle of Dependency”
The suppliers of the food ( also clothes ) receive government and private funding ( donations )
As with St. Vinnies and the Salvoes. Volunteers do most of the work.
Many times over years I have placed myself in the position of being “homeless”
by staying and sleeping at friends or relies or got a room at a Boarding House.
Even slept in some very comfortable “empties” to save up money, or, a “bank”.
As many people do. And with “No Responsibilities” !!
It's a “Good Lurk” and a “Good Life” !!
Mission Australia usually supplies a van
to run you back to where you are crashing, if you are “To Pissed” !!
